Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 232 The Way of Heaven
Even though he was prepared, when Chu Yu saw the pink butterfly and the green butterfly, he regretted his self-willedness for a while.These two sisters, the older one is soft and affectionate, the younger one is smart and amiable, but they themselves look like this potbellied.Just in front of Cao Yong alone, she will show her true feelings without any concealment, but in front of outsiders, she still maintains her usual dignified smile.

Fen Die, Cui Die, the two sisters, when they saw Cao Yong and the others came in, they all stood up, leaned over and said, "Master Cao!" But their eyes looked at Chu Yu's belly intentionally or unintentionally.

Cao Yong supported Chu Yu's waist, and said to the two: "This is my wife, follow me to see the garden today, I know you are here, so I come to see you!"

Fan Die and Cui Die hurriedly bowed down: "I have seen Madam!"

Chu Yu smiled lightly and said: "You two girls don't need to be too polite, it's really a blessing to have the honor to listen to these two wonderful voices just now!"

Fen Die and Cui Die said in unison: "I dare not be a wife!"

Cao Yong saw how gentle and polite they were, secretly amused, and said: "Even if you are polite and pleasant, you don't need to stand all the time, right? The room is more stuffy, move a few chairs, and it would be better for everyone to sit down and gossip!"

Seeing Cao Yong talking and looking at his wife, Fan Die felt an indescribable match between the two, and an indescribable envy in her heart.But she didn't show it on her face, she smiled and told Heye and Lianxin to move the chairs, and specially ordered to fetch new cushions.

After the chair was moved out, Cao Yong supported Chu Yu's waist and sat down there.Chu Yu sees that he does not avoid outsiders and treats her so intimately, which is both sweet and ashamed, and the regret that had just occurred in her heart has disappeared.

Fen Die is fine, no matter what is in her heart, her face doesn't show it; Cui Die is young after all, she speaks out her heart quickly, seeing Cao Yong carefully protecting his wife, she rolled her eyes, raised her eyebrows, tilted her head, and smiled Said: "I can't complain that the good bluestone roads have been pried up and replaced with cobblestones. Is Mr. Cao afraid that my sister's feet will be slippery?"

Fen Die heard that she was impolite, and was about to reach out to pull her sister's clothes, when Chu Yu asked Cao Yong with a smile: "What allusion is this sister talking about?"

Cao Yong remembered the last time he was teased by Cui Die, and began to feel that he was funny, she was obviously a naughty yellow-haired girl, how could he look like a woman when he first met?Seeing that Chuyu was still looking at herself, she nodded: "What Cuidie said is, I think we will come over in the future, and we will walk around the garden with us every day. It is also good to exercise our muscles and bones!"

Cui Die thought about it, and then said: "The pontoon bridge in this garden was also changed for this reason?"

Cao Yong smiled and nodded, Cui Die giggled and said to Chu Yu, "My sister is really lucky to marry such a considerate and interesting husband!"

Seeing her playful and cute, with no trace of gloom on her face, Chu Yu thought of her sister who was similar to her at home, and then remembered the misery of the "Yangzhou skinny horse" that her husband had mentioned before, and felt pity in her heart.

Seeing that the sisters refused to sit down, Cao Yong said: "Just now we were at the door and listened to you playing the piano. It's very elegant! If it's convenient for you two, can you teach me another song!"

The two sisters just sat down, but unlike those who just played the melody, Fen Die chanted softly: "I don't see Guangling flowers, it's a farewell to the five years old. Fengtai is good at strange beauty, but it's a pity that it's dusty. Return to the red medicine poem, Transplantation and spring rain..."

Chu Yu was listening fascinatedly, but Cao Yong was thinking about "prenatal education" in his mind, thinking that if it really didn't work, he would set up a home class to put the sisters in, and let them sing a few songs in front of Chu Yu without any problems. Is there any benefit for your baby?

It's strange to say, but looking at the two sisters now, they are just two innocent girls.

As soon as Fan Die finished singing, she heard someone applauding at the door.

Listening to the voice of Mr. Zhuang, Cao Yong was taken aback, why did he come here to find himself, what happened to the yamen?
Cao Yong got up and greeted him, not only Mr. Zhuang, but Cheng Mengxing, who was smiling, stood beside him.It turned out that Cheng Mengxing temporarily decided to leave for Yangzhou, and he felt impolite not to say goodbye to Cao Yong, so Mr. Zhuang brought him here directly.

Cao Yong was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Why is Mr. Cheng in such a hurry? Since you have come from a long way, why don't you get together with Mr. for two more days?"

Cheng Mengxing said with a smile: "Since I've seen it, I've got something on my mind, it's useless to stay, it's better to go back!"

Listening to these words is a bit awkward, Cao Yong looked at Mr. Zhuang with a little puzzlement.Mr. Zhuang also seemed a little confused, and then he sighed as if thinking of something.

Cheng Mengxing said: "I was lucky just now, I heard such a good song, dare I ask if it is..."

Mr. Zhuang said with a smile: "Wu Qiao, are you too embarrassed? Don't say that you didn't fill out the "Red Medicine Column"!"

"Mr. Wu Qiao!" A surprised voice came from the yard.

For some reason, Cao Yong immediately thought of Qin Guan and Liu Yonglai in his heart, and couldn't help guessing whether the poems of this gifted scholar were also sung by everyone?

Daotai mansion, inner house.

Zijing sat in front of the dressing table, looked at the face in the bronze mirror, smiled softly, and the person in the mirror also smiled.Whether she thinks she is too old or too young, Zijing herself can't tell.It's just that if it's bigger,...; if it's smaller, it doesn't...

Even though he didn't regret it in the end, he was a little unwilling to be reconciled, so he was touched by Cheng Mengxing's words.

Zijing slightly lowered her eyelids, took off the bronze mirror in her hand, picked up the "Diamond Sutra" next to it, and silently recited it.

Because of Enke's matter next year, there is already a letter of approval. Cao Song's side is not like the ones in the past who were arranged by Cao Yong to learn strategies from Master Han every morning.Originally, Cao Yong wanted to invite a gentleman, but Mr. Han just couldn't stay idle, and he was easy in the yamen, so he recommended himself.

Like Master Han and Master Lu, those who can be masters in the Daotai yamen are all famous for raising people.It is more than enough to teach Cao Song theories.

Today, although Master Han was shaking his head, he was talking incessantly.Cao Song was indescribably irritable, he just felt very uncomfortable, uncomfortable for no reason, but he didn't know the reason.When Wuwu looked at the two pots of narcissus placed in front of the window, he realized something. Thinking of the dagger he had given him for no apparent reason, he hung his head angrily and sighed.

Master Han heard this, looked at Cao Song, thought he was upset because of his homework, and comforted him: "Second Master, it's June next year, and there is still half a year before the rural examination in February next year, so don't be too impatient!"

Seeing Master Han's concerned face, Cao Song couldn't help being ashamed of his running away, so he nodded honestly.

Yesterday, it was the wind, but today it is practiced.Chuyu was a little tired, Cao Yong asked Xiyun and Xicai to take good care of her, and asked Wei Hei to take them back first.He stayed here and, together with Mr. Zhuang, practiced for Cheng Mengxing.

I directly sent someone to order two tables from the restaurant to be delivered with food and drinks, one table was delivered to the yard of Sister Fandie, and the other table was directly placed in the gazebo in the garden.Looking at Cheng Mengxing, who was chatting happily with Mr. Zhuang, Cao Yong admired him sincerely.

Witty man, this is the witty man, I can't complain that the storybook is full of stories of wit and beauty.Just now at the side courtyard, Cheng Mengxing, relying on the talent name of "Mr. Wu Qiao", shook his head again, listened to the ensemble of Fan Die and Cui Die, and gave a few casual pointers, which made the eyes of the two little girls shine.

After Cheng Mengxing's hands were itchy for a while, and he stroked a song, Fendie and Cuidie both bowed down and recommended themselves as servants to serve Mr.

Cheng Mengxing also felt that the two of them had extraordinary skills and their looks, so he didn't dislike them.It's just that they are in Cao's house after all, and they don't know their relationship with Cao Yong, so they look at Cao Yong with the intention of inquiring.

It would be a lie to say that he was not disappointed, even if he stopped thinking about the two little girls, seeing them being so attentive to Cheng Mengxing was still a bit tasteful.But after thinking about it, the two sisters seem to be a little obsessed with folk art, and they voluntarily followed Cheng Mengxing, maybe this is a good result.

After speaking about recommending themselves as maidservants, Fendie and Cuidie realized that they were a little reckless.Although the deed is in his arms right now, it is Cao Yong's kindness after all, and it is really inappropriate to go here without his permission.Therefore, both of them felt ashamed, turned to Cao Yong, and asked in a low voice: "Master Cao, can this be done?"

Since it was the choice of the two sisters, and the other was Cheng Mengxing, who had a wealthy family and a good character, Cao Yong was naturally full of praise.

Although four masters and servants, Fan Die and Cui Die, were added, it was just a matter of hiring two more carriages.

After lunch, Cao Yong sent them out of the gate.Watching the carriage drift away, Cao Yong and Mr. Zhuang got on their horses and returned to Daotai Mansion, admiring Cheng Mengxing's talent and learning, while envious of this boy's beauty.

Looking at the expressions of Fen Die and Cui Die towards Cheng Mengxing, if there is nothing unexpected, they must be counting on him for the rest of their lives.

Turning around, and being a concubine again, Cao Yong suddenly felt the confusion of the reincarnation of heaven, and was in a trance for a while, and almost fell off his horse.Fortunately, he pulled the rein in time and did not fall to the ground.

Mr. Zhuang was taken aback, quickly reined in, and asked with concern: "Fu Ruo, are you alright?"

Cao Yong felt that his eyelids were twitching, rubbed them with his hands, and replied with a smile: "Sir, don't worry, maybe it's because of drinking on an empty stomach just now, and your head is a little heavy! Go back and take a nap, and you'll be fine!"

Jiangning, Cao's West Mansion, the upper house in the main courtyard.

Cao Quan was lying on the bed with sunken eyes, bruised lips, and pale complexion. He moved his mouth slightly, but couldn't speak.Standing on the ground, Mrs. Zhao Jia couldn't hold back seeing her husband like this, sobbing loudly.Li's eyes were also red, and she wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

Cao Yin sat on the chair in front of the bed, seeing his only younger brother like this, felt sore in his heart, but pretended to be relaxed on his face, and said: "Second brother, I have sent someone to Yizhou for my brother, count the time, Maybe I have seen their brothers now, and my nephew is rushing back!"

Cao Quan "coughed", his face became more flushed, and his eyes were not as cloudy as before.

Cao Yin felt more and more uncomfortable, knowing that just as the doctor told him, Cao Quan had reached the end of his battle.Someone has been sent to the school to pick up Cao Shuo and his brothers.Hearing the hurried footsteps outside, it seemed that their brothers had returned.

Cao Shuo and the others entered the house, seeing their father like this, their hearts were pierced, but they didn't dare to cry loudly, for fear of disturbing their father, they could only bow their heads and cry.

The fifth son was ill and was not here; the fourth sister from Zhaojia's family was also in the house, held by her mother.She is about two years old and has already learned a language. She seems to feel the abnormality of her parents, and keeps saying: "Father, father!" It makes people feel more sad.

A few days ago, Cao Quan suffered from malaria, which was not serious at first.Cao Yin had cinchona bestowed by the emperor in his hand, so he brought it when he came to visit the sick.Who would have thought, but it has become what it is today.

Seeing that Cao Quan's spirit has improved a lot, he struggled to lean up halfway, and looked at his brothers, sisters-in-law, wives and children in the room, with a worried look on his face.

Cao Yin sighed secretly, knowing that he was worried about the concubine, he said softly: "Wu'er is fine now, probably because he was a little noisy a few days ago, and he just sent someone to look at it, but now he is asleep!"

A smile appeared on Cao Quan's face, he nodded with difficulty, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's fine, it's not her luck to have a father like me. Being able to protect her once is not in vain for me to be a father." field!"

Cao Yin was a little annoyed, and couldn't help but want to ask him, did he not care about other relatives when he made such a decision?However, I am also a father, thinking that if I encounter the same problem one day, I am afraid that I will give the medicine to my son.

Cao Quan glanced at the faces of the sons, and said: "You are getting older, you must listen to your uncle and brothers in the future, and be filial to your mother!"

The brothers Cao Shuo fell to their knees in tears, and Cao Shuo said in tears, "Father taught me, my sons will take it to heart and dare not disobey it. I also hope that my father will take care of my children and take good care of themselves!"

Seeing that his sons were sensible, Cao Quan felt a little relieved, wanted to see the four daughters in his mother's arms, then looked at his wife and concubine, and called softly: "Xueqin!"

The word "Xueqin" he called was exactly Zhao Jia's maiden name.Zhao Jia straightened her limp body, not letting herself fall down, biting her lips and moving to her husband's bed, looking at her husband's face, with tears streaming down his face, how could he speak?

Cao Quan sighed, and said: "Marrying me, a worthless husband, is really hard for you! Even if I don't do anything, it's always a one-and-done thing... You pull your sons well, don't worry about everything, and you will enjoy your sons in the future." Your blessing...Yi'er..." At the end, her voice became lower and lower, and when she said the name of the second daughter whom she had never recognized before, her voice stopped...
